Lyrics:

Refrain: (a, revised) Seek the Lord whose mercy abounds;
call aloud to God who is near.

(b, original) Seek the Lord while he may be found;
call to him while he is still near.

1a. Today is the day and now the proper hour
to forsake our sinful lives and turn to the Lord.

1b. Today is the day and now the proper hour
to forsake our sinful lives and turn to the Lord.

2a. As high as the sky is above the earth,
so high above our ways, the ways of the Lord.

2b. As high as the sky is above the earth,
so high above our ways, the ways of the Lord.

3a. Open your heart to hear the voice of God,
whose words, whose ways lead us to life.

3b. Finding the Lord, let us cling to him.
His words, his ways lead us to life.

4a. Some day we'll live in the house of God;
hearts full of praise for God's gracious love.

4b. Some day we'll live in the house of God;
gaze on his face and praise his name.
